Benefits of technology

[0013]The invention is particularly useful for preparing a composition enriched in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid alkyl esters from mixtures of fatty acid esters in a starting composition derived from vegetable oils. The present invention is also directed to a method of preparing a conditioned argentized alumina adsorbent having a darker color than non-aged adsorbent and / or increased selectivity for compounds containing one or more unsaturated carbon chains.

Problems solved by technology

However, these analytical separations are carried out discontinuously (batchwise) and are not amenable to use in large scale to produce commercially useful quantities of composition enriched in carbon compounds having a desired degree of unsaturation.
However, these batch processes operate discontinuously, rendering them unattractive for large-scale separation of compounds based on desired degree of unsaturation.
Difficulties cited include the lack of robustness and homogeneity in available support materials, (Cert, A. and Moreda, W., J.
A solid bed technique employing zeolites exchanged with potassium has been applied to separation of methyl oleate and methyl linoleate from methyl stearate and methyl palmitate; however, no silver ion is used in the process (U.S. Pat. No. 4,049,688).

Pulse Test of Argentized Cationic Resin

[0082]Mitsubishi EXC04 resin (Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. Tokyo, Japan) was ground to particles of 90-150 microns. The resin was then packed into a column and rinsed with 3 bed volumes (BV) of deionized water, after which the resin was argentized by passing 20 BV of a solution of 5% silver nitrate through the resin column. This was followed by a 4 BV deionized water rinse and then dried by thorough rinsing with dry methanol to produce a column containing a first argentized adsorbent. The first argentized adsorbent was then used to perform a pulse test on Soygold 1100, a commercially available mixture of soy fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) (Ag Environmental Products L.L.C., Omaha, Neb.; the SME / UME ratio of Soygold is 0.193).

[0083]A pulse test was carried out at ambient temperature using a 15 mm×600 mm jacketed glass column loaded with 100 milliliters of first argentized adsorbent. The feed material (Soygold 1100, 2 ml) was added onto the top of t...

Pulse Test of Argentized Cationic Resin

[0085]Finex CS 24 (Finex Ltd., Kotka, Finland) was argentized as in Example 1 to form a second argentized adsorbent and used in a pulse test as in Example 1. Elution of Soygold 1100 FAMEs developed after a smaller volume of eluant, but more tailing took place with this second argentized adsorbent than in Example 1 (FIG. 2). A fraction enriched in C18:2 FAME and depleted of Sats and C18:1 FAME could be obtained by collecting the effluent starting at 1.3 bed volumes.

Simulated Moving Bed Chromatography of Argentized Cationic Resin

[0086]Based on the information obtained in Example 1, Simulated Moving Bed Argentation Chromatography was carried out in a 12-column AST type simulated moving bed (SMB) system (FIG. 3) using glass columns containing 40 milliliters, each, of argentized ion exchange strong acid cation resin (in this case Mitsubishi EXC04, ground and argentized as in Example 1).

[0087]Feed containing compounds to be separated (in this case, Soygold 1100 FAME) was continually fed to the system, which was configured in a 4-3-2-3 configuration. Two elution solvents were simultaneously fed into different zones. As the operation proceeded, valves changed the point at which feed and solvents were applied, simultaneous to changing the points at which the effluent streams were removed. In this manner, movement of the bed is simulated.

[0088]The SMB was operated with 3 columns in the adsorption zone. In this zone feed was introduced into the system. ...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method of preparing compositions enriched in compounds containing carbon chains of varying degrees of unsaturation using argentation chromatography. The present method utilizes an argentized cationic resin or a conditioned argentized alumina to separate compounds containing saturated or mono-unsaturated carbon chains from compounds having polyunsaturated carbon chains present in a starting composition. The invention is particularly useful for preparing a composition enriched in polyunsaturated fatty acid alkyl esters from mixtures of fatty acid esters in a starting composition derived from vegetable oils. The present invention is also directed to a method of preparing a conditioned argentized alumina adsorbent having increased selectivity for compounds containing one or more polyunsaturated carbon chains.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 750,794, filed Dec. 16, 2005, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention is related to methods of preparing compositions enriched in compounds containing carbon chains having various degrees of saturation. The present method is related to simulated moving bed chromatography using an argentized adsorbent.[0004]2. Background of the Invention[0005]The use of silver ion chromatography for separation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) by the degree of unsaturation of the fatty acid moiety is known (Nikolova-Damyanova, B., Advances in Lipid Methodology-Five:43-123, Oily Press Library (2003)). Silver ion thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and batch column chromatography of FAME uses silver-treated silicic acid, silica gel or ion-exchange resin as a support (Nikolova-Damyanova...
